The IDP Tipster: Updated Six Year Rookie IDP Success Rate Tracker

The IDP Tipster Again Dives Into The Numbers Of IDP Players Drafted In 2018 And Adjusts The Success Rate Of Relevant First Year For Fantasy Football Purposes.

Oddsmaker By The Numbers:

Rookie IDP overall who have managed to reach the top 64 in combined tackles according to NFL.com end of the year statistics in their rookie season. This is an all position and all player available ranking. Tiers may vary, but I choose to use these tiers for a floor with “standard” size leagues of 10 – 14 teams and with 6 – 8 IDPs per starting lineup.

Grand Totals For Last Six Seasons.

Total IDP Drafted: 768

Total Rookies Reaching Tier 1 – 4: 29

2013 – 2017 Five Year Success Rate Was: 3.12%

New Six-Year Grand Total Success Rate:

2019 Tipster Outlook: The odds are against the 2019 class on paper. 2018 was an exceptional year for rookies. So if we look at it that the odds for 2019 would improve the percentage again we might say it is a 1 in 6 chance. I won’t be adjusting my final comment below from last year.

Don’t depend on hyped rookies in assisting you to win in his first season, no matter what the hype!

Personal Note: This is why I don’t like ranking rookies in my upper tiers when ranking IDPs. This is also why we should never depend on a rookie for our starting lineups. There are too many factors that can play out from what can be rookies being injury prone to their acclimation to the pro-level of the NFL.

You may find that I support or hype a rookie from time to time. Please don’t ever take that as more than me promoting at a “rookie level.” They are great “sleepers” or “fliers” and as long as we approach it this way we will not be disappointed but elated when they do succeed. This is why I personally target second thru fourth-year players, I’ll pay the price after they show us something.

And there is nothing better or safer to me personally than a veteran who has displayed his talents for at least a couple of seasons. Being Consistent matters, period.
